I work with some fabulous people at NPS-CAW, or the Naval Postgraduate School - Center for Asymmetrical Warfare, who invited me out on a cold and quiet day off the So Cal coast to check out a few of the local oil rigs. CAW prepares agencies for potential attacks and their next project was to involve a few of the .gov agencies and prepare them for a take over of one of our off coast oil rigs. We were pretending to be the bad guys and circled the oil rigs and took video/photos to be used in their upcoming exercise.
UPDATE - .gov shutdown have put these guys out of work! Hate our current government non compromise situation. Looking forward to Nov 2014 to vote them out!!!
We also had a guy on board who had a lot of toys (wink wink). The first time he flew it, we were able to recover the 'toy' and the Go-Pro. The second time not so lucky, we lost to Go-Pro which you can see shoot across the bow in the video - sigh...
Nothing like doing 32 knots on smooth seas, oh and doing a complete 360 degree turn at 30 degrees at full speed to boot - NO PROBLEM!!
Overall GREAT DAY!!!
Success - video from the Go-Pro was more impressive :)
Oops!!
Smooth seas, the ship's wake was no problem either!
**Video too big to load :(**
